Reports of lacrimal gland cysts have been rare, and mostly of small, unilateral cysts of the palpebral lobes. An unusual case of bilateral, large acquired cysts of the orbital lobe of the lacrimal glands is presented. Pathologic examination showed chronic inflammation and fibrosis of the lacrimal gland structures. We suggest that prolapse of the lacrimal glands with obstruction of the lacrimal ducts, combined with chronic dacryoadenitis, led to cyst formation.
泪腺囊肿的报道较为罕见，且大多为睑叶的小型单侧囊肿。本文报道了一例罕见的双侧、获得性泪腺眶叶大囊肿病例。病理检查显示泪腺结构存在慢性炎症和纤维化。我们认为，泪腺脱垂伴泪道阻塞，再加上慢性泪腺炎，导致了囊肿的形成。
